Tasting involves many different cell-signaling processes that ultimately generate nerve signals transduced by membrane depolariz

ation. Sweet tastes result in PIP2 hydrolysis, while salty tastes allow sodium ions to directly alter the membrane potential. What can you deduce about the signaling mechanisms for sweet and salty?
Choose one or more:

A. Sweet ligands bind to and close sodium channels, which starts a membrane potential.
B. Sodium ions directly enter the cells, indicating the signal is transduced by an ion channel.
C. Sweet and salty signaling pathways use the same taste receptor molecule, but with different efficacy on the sweet and salty taste center in the brain.
D. Sweet utilizes the GPCR signaling pathway, activating phospholipase C.

Answer:

B.  Sodium ions directly enter the cells, indicating the signal is transduced by an ion channel.

D. Sweet utilizes the GPCR signaling pathway, activating phospholipase C.

Explanation:

The taste received by the taste buds is processed through different channels

a) The Sweet, bitter, and umami tastes  are transduced by the GPCR (G-protein-coupled receptors) signaling pathway

b) Sour taste reaches the taste bud through the acidification of acid-sensitive membrane proteins with in the taste cell

c) The epithelial sodium channels in the renal tissues directly takes up the salty taste

Hence, option B and D are correct

What are some of the reasons why animals end up cared for by rehabilitators?
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Some of the reasons why animals end up being cared by rehabilitators is if they are injured in the wild or become infected with an illness. Many of these animals would not be able to live without the aid of these veterinarians.

Rehabilitative veterinary science is important because wild animals get sick too and often because of us and just because it gets sick does not mean it needs to become captive. If every animal that got hurt became captive there would be no wild animals. It’s all about keeping balance in the wild and catch, fix, release is a good method.

Humans produce sweat as a cooling mechanism to maintain a stable internal temperature. Which of the following best explains how
Vika [28.1K]

The appropriate options of the given question is as follows:

a. The high specific heat capacity of water allows the body to absorb a large amount of excess heat energy.

b . The high heat of vaporization of water allows the body to remove excess heat through a phase change of water from liquid to gas.

c . The high surface tension of water contributes to the physical process by which water leaves the body.

d . The high melting temperature of the water allows the body to remove excess heat through a phase change of water from solid to liquid.

Answer:

The correct answer is - Option a. and b.

Explanation:

Sweating is one of the processes of the homeostasis that helps in the regulation of the body temperature in humans and other animals. Sweat helps in preventing the body from overheating if the external environment is high in temperature. The sweat evaporates to release heat in form of calories which helps in the regulation of body temperature.

Due to the high heat capacity of water, helps to more evenly distribute or transfer heat in the body. It helps in maintaining a more even temperature by transporting heat from warm places to cool places.

Thus, the correct answer is - a and b.

Q3.13. In our simulation of herbivores feeding in a farm pasture, we treated each species as if it were foraging all by itself.
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

<em>The grasshopper competes with the sheep for food, thereby reducing the available quantity and quality of food for the sheep.</em>

Explanation:

In an ecosystem, many organisms rely on the same food source. The success of a particular species in extracting the food source better than another species that needs that same food source can affect the success of  population of this other species of animal. If the number of grasshopper in this pasture becomes too much, it might lead to the consumption of a large portion of the pasture by the grasshopper, leading to a reduction in the available food for the sheep. If this happens, the population of the sheep might decline in order to balance the increase in the population of the grasshopper.

Select all that apply The filtration pressure in the glomerulus is determined by the balance of which two pressures
rewona [7]

The filtration pressure in the glomerulus is determined by the balance of two pressures that are colloid osmotic pressure and blood hydrostatic pressure.

A blood test called a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) measures how well your kidneys are functioning. Glomeruli are little filters found in your kidneys.

These filters aid in clearing the blood of waste and extra fluid. How much blood flows through these filters each minute is determined by a GFR test.

Along with the permeability and surface area of the glomerular membrane, it is governed by the equilibrium of blood hydrostatic and colloid osmotic forces across the membrane.

Autoregulation keeps renal blood flow and, consequently, GFR constant between mean arterial blood pressure ranges of 80 and 180 mm Hg.

Note : The question is incomplete and consist of four options

a) Lymphatic

b) Colloid osmotic

c) Blood hydrostatic

d) Venous
